This is a list of all keywords used in the Geo-Guide. The keywords are searchable in the Geo-Guide search options.
The GeoRef Thesaurus of the American Geological Institute (7. ed., 1994, ISBN: 0-922152-25-X) forms the basis of the Keyword List, so american english language is preferred.
The most keywords are also searchable in the Multilingual Thesaurus of Geosciences (2. ed., 1995, ISBN: 1-57387-009-9) in the schedule for american english. The Multilingual Thesaurus is developed by a joint working group of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI).
Some keywords are not listed in the GeoRef Thesaurus, so for this case the Subject Headings of the Library of Congress Classification are used.
In case of any comments, questions, suggestions, or criticism please contact
